Huck on the Mississippi, C64 game, action, 1987/2024.
After a break of 35 years, I have finished programming this game for the C64.
There are 10 levels with a "final boss" after which it's over. I think both are motivating. There are probably people who play through the game in a few minutes, and others who despair at the increasingly difficult levels and try again and again.
CONTROLS:
Use the joystick in Port 2 to control your player on a log. Move up/down and left/right to pick up objects from the water and collect points. Avoid contact with wild ducks, crocodiles and other dangerous animals...
